history

Pacific Coast Stage Co. is a charitable not-for-profit performing arts organization respectfully operating on the traditional territory of the Snuneymuxw peoples, also known as Nanaimo, B.C., Canada.

Our company began presenting the annual international Nanaimo Fringe Festival in 2011. We have proven adaptable to shifting opportunities/challenges for the arts sector in the decade since, expanding year-round programming to include public workshops, creative/professional development opportunities for local performing artists, and pivoting to an entirely virtual festival in 2020.
